HOLIDAY GIFT IDEA No. 3: NORDEN GOODS, CANDLES AND INCENSE December 13 2016

L
Norden Goods is run by husband and wife Erika and Pete Panciera in California. The stoneware containers are hand thrown in Encinitas, CA, and the candles are poured in their studio using U.S.A. produced soy wax, a blend of essential oils, and fragrance oils.
k
Not only do the candles have an impressive 80hr burn time but you'll also want to keep the ceramic containers after you are done burning the candle and repurpose them.

In a world filled with disposable goods, Norden strives to provide products that can be passed down for generations and Service seconds this sentiment.

Stop by and see us if you're still hunting for the perfect gift for that special someone. We're open late most nights this week.


PAINE'S BALSAM FIR INCENSE, SINCE 1931 December 16 2013

Paine's Balsam Fir Insense is currently available at Service for the Holiday's. This family owned company has been making their woodsy smelling products since the early 1930's. All products are 100% US made in Aubern, Maine.

"Fir branches are brought to us by local woodsmen. The boughs are ground and dried. Then it is pressed into incense molds. No chemicals are added to our incense. It is 100 percent natural, and sustainable!"

The small green package shown comes with 24 incense sticks for $7.

Paine's most iconic product is its log cabin incense burner. Yes, you guessed it: the incense smoke wafts right up through the cabin's little chimney. Service is selling this item along with a package of 82 balsam fir incense sticks pre-gift wrapped for $24. Come get 'em before they're gone.

We also have stocked additional incense holders. Wrought iron owls, bears, and pine cones ranging from $12-$18. Paine's Balsam Fir Incense sticks fit with these holders as well.

We think these items make great inexpensive and nostalgic gifts anyone would be pleased to receive. And great for all year round too.

Every Holiday season at Service, we offer many of our items pre gift wrapped. Kirk & his team of worker elves are busy starting in October, preparing all the boxes and twine you currently see in the shop. Small items such as soaps and ornaments, as well as grooming supplies and bottle openers can be found nicely wrapped in a box around the store ready to put under the menorah, the tree, or inside a stocking. We always offer complimentary gift wrapping for any and all of our customer's purchases, and we will gladly wrap while you wait or have everything finished by the time you've had your first cocktail at Perla's. Here are some gifts we have ready for y'all, our first Holiday roundup of the season.

Sea salt, cedarwood, and pine soaps ($6-$10)

We have more than just these items boxed up and we'll have even more next week, so come by and do some Holiday shopping with the Service crew...we'd love to have you in.
